| 2026/04/20 - 2026/05/08 | The workshop "Metagenomic and bioinformatic tools for deep ocean observation and diversity studies" aimed at providing an
overview and practical application of current methodologies, such as eDNA metabarcoding, metagenomics, and associated bioinformatic
tools to analyze next-generation sequencing data and to make insightful interpretations in the context of marine ecology and
biodiversity. (2026/05/05 - 2026/05/08)

make insightful interpretation towards the fields of microbial ecology and environmental microbiology.
-Overview of different tools
-Theoretical lectures and “hands-on” sessions
-Targeted (Metabarcoding) and Untargeted Metagenomics (DNA, not RNA)
The workshop had 45 participants, from 24 institutions.

Students had the opportunity to accompany the young CIIMAR research team with several activities organized under the OCEAN3R
project. They got involved with different problematics facing marine ecosystem such as microplastics monitoring, microbial,
microbial bioremediation, kelp forest kelp forest recovery& sustainable aquaculture sustainable! (2023/05/24 - 2023/05/24)

| 2024/03/04 - 2024/03/08 | The workshop covered a range of quantitative studies in ecology made possible by the extensive Tara Oceans datasets, which
comprise DNA sequence and organism imaging resources from all domains of plankton life including viruses, as well as rich
metadata to explore their environmental context. Participants learned to use these resources for exploring contributions of
plankton to ecological, evolutionary and biogeochemical processes, aiming to provide the predictive power needed to track
the impact of climate change on life in the oceans.

| 2023/12/22 - 2023/12/22 | Unlocking the immense potential of Earth Observation and modelling data on a global scale is a powerful resource for addressing
societal needs and fostering science diplomacy. However, navigating this data-rich landscape comes with its own set of challenges,
including barriers to data selection, discovery and access, or a correct understanding of the fitness for use of each product.
We explored the methodologies and opportunities for utilizing global products—both satellite and model-based—for local, high-impact
applications.

| 2023/05/10 - 2023/05/12 | The U.Porto Young Research Meeting – IJUP, is an annual event, which takes place at the beginning of the second semester,
and where U.Porto students (and affiliated students as well), have the opportunity to present and discuss the results of the
studies in which they participated in the scope of initiation research projects.
The research initiation program aims to encourage the involvement of U.Porto students in R&D activities, as early as possible,
in their university education.
